Kano
[ˈkɑːnoʊ]Meaning
Hausa Kanṑ and Japanese 狩野 or 加納 (Kanō); Philippine English slang for a Westerner
Background Story
English takes Kano from two sources: the Hausa word Kanṑ, and the Japanese surnames 狩野 (Kano) or 加納 (Kanō), which form the English plural Kanos. In Philippine English it is slang for a male American and, by extension, for a Western foreigner. A user-submitted entry also records Kano as a masculine given name in Sidamo and in popular-culture use.
